Note #3 on Sheet B13 of the plans for the DTFH6816B00002 Flagstaff Overlook project references a Geotech Report, there was not a report posted on the FBO website, will one be made available?

Response: All information is located in the Pavement & Materials Report attached in FBO. The Geotechnical Report has been attached.

Question 2:

I have a question regarding Line Item 24 –“Roadway Excavation 145,000 CUYD”.

I find no Embankment Line Item in the Bid schedule, nor directions for what you desire done with the excavated materials.

How do you want to pay for embankment work? Your clarification is appreciated.

Response: Please refer to FP-03 Section 204.10 “Incorporate only suitable roadway excavation material into the embankment.

12/01/15 Question 3:

Please clarify completion time. Per Section 108.01, page E-21, “The contract completion date for Schedule A is September 30, 2016”. What is the completion date if Schedule A and Options X & Y are awarded?

Response: If awarded, options will be exercised in time frame provided in the solicitation. The Option work is to be completed within the same completion time as the Schedule A as this is all concurrent work that can be performed within the overall schedule A. Changes to the completion date will be evaluated after NTP. Please review A001 updating the contract completion date from September 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017 for Schedule A, Option X, and Option Y.

12/02/15 Question 4:

12/07/15 Question 6:

Note #3 on Sheet B13 of the Plans directs the Contractor to refer to the Geotechnical Report for estimated shrink/swell factors. The answer to Question #1 in the Questions & Answers appears to tell us that the Geotechnical Report is included in the Pavement & Materials Report. After reviewing the Pavement & Materials Report we could not find any information regarding shrink and swell factors. Can you provide the Estimated Shrink and Swell Factors?

Response: The Geotechnical Report has now been attached. Please review attachments.

Question 7:

Sheet C9 of the Plans partially shows a TCE on the west side of the road at the Fry Bridge. Can you make available a drawing that shows the entire TCE?

Response: We have attached a ROW Exhibit. Please review attachments.

12/09/15 Question 7:

Page 6 of the Pavement and Materials Report states that the pavement can be milled or pulverized and used as aggregate base per the listed Gradation. Is this allowable on the project or does all the Aggregate Base Course on the project need to meet the Gradations per Section 301?

Response: All aggregate must meet the gradation of Section 301. The SCR'S override the pavement report as the report was prepared early in the design.
